The camo trend: is it still a thing?

For the past few seasons, I've been struggling with the camo trend. I really like it on other people, yet the closest I've gotten to rocking it was on a pretty basic level. But since I really love a feminine look with a little bit of edge, I feel like it's a no-brainer that it should be a trend I'm all over. Especially when I see pieces like these pants!

And now that fall shopping is in full swing, I'm once again faced with whether or not to jump on the bandwagon. I guess I can't decide whether or not it's a trend that's here to stay or something I'll look back on and regret. So that's why I'm hashing it out here and throwing it to you! What do you think of the camo trend? And even if it does fade, is it worth having a little bit of fun with?

Oh, and in case you need some inspiration, below are a handful of cute, totally wearable pieces. They're all able to be easily mixed into your wardrobe for just a touch of trendy without the fear that your next step will be a camo wedding dress!

I have mixed feeling about camo, mostly because the clothes you tend to find the print on is poorly fitting fast fashion. I do completely enjoy a military look, but camo itself is hard to pull off in my book.

Well, I'm not one to follow trend waves to the letter. I was rocking camo back when the only place I could find pieces were at actual army supply stores. And I'll still be wearing it if the powers that be decide its "out". I love camo like I love animal print - and rely on it as a neutral. A great print to add edge to girly silhouettes.

I grew up in an area where 98% of the population counted down the days to hunting season and all the guys wore camo tux vests to prom...yep, I wish I were kidding. So I've always been a little undecided on camo as a fashion trend, but I have to admit I'm loving those Gap pants. I don't know how often I'd wear them, but I might just have to get them!
